Memories with Snapfish

*Please respect the photo of Rocco as one of our only photos/memories with him, no reporting it or nasty comments please*

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I take and upload a lot of photos. They aren't super amazing quality or anything special but they capture the memories of our life... from days out, to special occasions to the general everyday activities. My Instagram currently has 2811 posts.. that is a lot of memories just sitting on the interweb. Having those memories put onto products seemed fun and nostalgic, so I ordered some bits from Snapfish.

One of my New Year's resolutions back in January was to be more organised and so far, it hasn't materialised. I bought a nice new diary, filled it with all my important dates and appointments, popped it in my bag and I haven't seen it since. Whoops.

I decided a wall calendar would be more helpful to me as I don't have to remember to look at it, it is there hanging in front of me, so no excuses (or at least that's the idea). However, finding a calendar I liked was a bit of a struggle so designing my own with backgrounds and photos was the perfect solution. It was easy to do online and when it arrived I was so impressed, I think it's great quality and looks exactly as I wanted. It's so cute and is much more personal than buying a standard calendar, they'd make great gifts for family too!

Since I was going down memory lane, I wanted to order something for Rocco. Since losing him in September, I have been wanting something with his name on as we hadn't named him in time for it to be on his box of ashes. I created this little collage on a photo panel with his name at the bottom and it's perfect. It did warn me when I designed it that the photos wouldn't be the best quality and they are a little grainy but I'm happy with it as obviously they're the only photos we have of him.

Lastly, I ordered a few key rings. I got them as little gifts for family and they loved them. They're so adorable and the perfect little token gift to put with a few other things for birthdays or Christmas etc. The price point of all the items I got were fab and the website was easy to navigate and design on, I'd totally recommend Snapfish and I'm sure I'll be ordering from them again in the future!
